Good version with a great solo from Jerry. I like this show more and more each time I listen to it!

This was a nice find. The boys sound energetic and the playing is crisp and bright. There are a few nice jams before an extended jam into Truckin’

Samson and Delilah

Raceway Park

Jerry nearly bursts into flames several times during this one! Look for the FM broadcast SBD on the archive. It has rougher, more energetic feel than the Dick's Picks version.
Brokedown Palace

Oklahoma City Music Hall

A nearly flawless rendition. Give this one a listen, you won't be disappointed.
Truckin'
Sept. 28, 1975
Lindley Meadows, Golden Gate Park

The AUD version is so hot it's molten. Some flubs early on but the crescendo and outro jam are spectacular. Highly recommended.

Great American Music Hall

Super fast, super-charged, and totally awesome version! One time I was wide-eyed and asked my friend, "Do you wanna know what cocaine sounds like?" Then I played this song and we both totally lost it.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Pacific Coliseum

The interplay during the transition is beyond stellar. 100% on point, my personal favorite version of China>Rider.
